Consumer Description

No part failure confirmed by Ford. Transmission has very hard downshift at highway speeds from 10th gear to 8th gear under moderate throttle causing the rear wheels to chirp. Had this happened during cold months it could have caused me to spin out. Ford states transmission is normal yet previous TSBs show consistent issues with the 10r80 transmission from My 2018 and up in regards to harsh, delayed shifts. No warning lamp other than traction/stability control flashed. I have had the dealer look but was told it is normal as with other drivers. I can't understand how chirping the tires on a down shift under moderate throttle can be considered normal.
